Land of DW's lead is now 21 points - Ultraviolenceland have a pretty good chance of narrowing that to just 3 points I think so we are in #theloniadecides territory :o

So this is how the deductions are gonna go since all of our late/non-voters were in the final:

Aelandor, Sandenia, Pagasa - 15% deduction

United States Of Jack - 33% deduction

 

sorry Jacob but I had already started doing deductions for the people who voted late and I just couldn't in good conscience reverse everything bc of it, I hope it doesn't ruin anything between us :(

I think that means Land of DW have just about held on? :cheer:

Thanks Thelonia for 11 points!!

Omg Lewis my saviour!!! :wub: A disappointing result for me overall this month but I at least didn't fall short of my final goalpost shift, by the skin of my teeth. :lol:

 

Does indeed look like Land of DW have held on but will wait until we have a confirmed final scoreboard just in case. x

thank you Thelonia for 13 points!

 

I should've gone to bed by now but here I am still awaiting that final scoreboard! Fingers crossed for a possible top 10?

It's GG's to Land Of DW who manage to edge out a win with Nora En Pure, their second overall! Just following close behind is Scherzland with (what I believe) is their first medal positions! FSR Rontvia also bookending the year with medals and POPHub doing super well with K-pop (albeit with an English single)! :cheer: And now we wait to see who ends up getting YTD #1 :P

 

Flynnonda racism impacting again I see :angry: That track in particular was robbed

 

The host country closes out the year with an 11th place. Fantastic result to end by exceeding expectations, and we end the year with """only""" 9 qualifications, a banner win and a few more hits on our belt. Thanks to everyone for the support and we promise to work harder next year! :heart:

does this mean we've been hit by the AQ curse

 

also yes bray I did round the numbers correctly, Aelandor would have won the tiebreak anyway with 30 voters to Hushky's 26

I would like to thank the judges for picking me, my parents who I love, I love you Buzzjack

yes!! big congrats to Land of DW and Nora En Pure.

great to see Klum making the top ten as well.

I’m f***ing wrecked but DIRTY! FILTH’

congrats to nora :D

Wow, I would have never expected to finish anywhere near third and over 300 points with this entry, thanks hugely to everyone who voted! Amazing to bookend the year with bronze medals!

 

Fantastic winner, gorgeous song and my 18! Well done Land of DW!

 

And incredibly impressive for Scherzland running them so close with all those 18s!

 

A solid top ten, very happy to see Tartford and Fljótavík‘s retro entries in there, and Summericia too! Surprised Aeroche missed out, as ever The Lonely One deserves better.

 

Thanks for a wonderful contest Cody, incredible quality and great hosting as ever!

oh wow I did make it into that top 10 in the end :o and glad it's not just by the skin of my teeth! Think that's like my 5th 10th place or something? Unusual high number of them! A great finish to the year and over the moon that Land of DW won! They were my 18 :heart:

 

Thank you Cody for hosting! I know we rip into you a lot but you do a great job hosting!

Congrats to Land of DW, great track, great winner, See y’all in 2021 with some female indie-rock, all things permitting.

AGOG that I finished in the top 20 this time :o never in a million years did I think this would place higher than 'ISAE' last month - I'm even more perplexed about what BJSC wants from me now :lol: to make this even better, 19th is a unique position!! I needed 11th, 15th and 19th in the 11-20 zone, yay :D thanks so much to everyone who pointed this, I will never understand how it not only qualified but placed top 20, but certainly not complaining <3 squeezes in as my 5th best result of the year.

 

ELATED that my 18 won as well ahhhh congratulations Frank :wub: so many gems in that top 10 actually - more in line with my taste than usual! It's a shame that Leww and Bray's entries couldn't be up there too, like a lot of odds suggested, but both will be slaying in the EOY top 5 anyway *.*

 

 

18 // 178 // Cumulonimbia // Das Mörtal - It Comes

19 // 174 // Jadakissnia // Nürnberg - Rasplyvajecca

 

Doctor Blind narrowly wins battle of the umlauts :kink: ö officially superior to ü *_*

 

Thanks so much Cody for a tremendous hosting effort! All your hard work and enthusiasm is appreciated <3

A quick scoreboard audit this month as Cody's final scoreboard does actually match mine entirely so no changes to be made! (The other tiebreaks btw are 19 votes to 18 for Holland-Oats/Vülkyria and 16 votes to 15 for Republic of Adonia/Terra Avium).

 

Congrats Frank on a second win, that Scherzland surge from the DNQ voters was really looking scary for a moment but thrilled at 'Wetlands' still ultimately clutching it out, easily one of the best winners of the year. :wub:

 

Also appears it will have been insanely close between the EOY top 3 (the results of this contest have gone Aeroche > Hendinia > Altyr exactly as I predicted so it just came down to the margins) but Altyr have just about held on so congrats to John!!

 

(will comment on the rest of the results in a bit :magic:)

That's my highest placing, the previous best being 5th place for Propaganda. Thanks to everyone who gave points to 'Lost'.

 

Congrats to Frank, I liked 'Wetlands' but it was just outside my points.

 

Thanks to Cody for doing a great job as host.

Delighted to have finished top 10 again, maybe I should go retro more often as it’s definitely worked these past two contests.

 

Thanks Cody for hosting, it was a great contest to end the year with ^_^

 

 

Oh and congratulations John on the end of year victory!
